breathing · 29/04/2011 14:32

Love you bigsooz

"I've spent weeks slagging off the wedding and today I never missed a thing"

Also guilty as chargedBlushGrin

Oh but I thought she was a bit heavy handed on the eyebrow pencil, but maybe she didn't want to look like Bod, from a distance.

WhiteBumOfTheMountain · 29/04/2011 14:34

Can't sewhy everyone's raving about Pippa. She looked nice but a bi too clingy... not that amazing...dress was blah...like loads of others we see. Kate however looke amazing. Stunning.

cyb · 29/04/2011 14:35

Yes I thought brows a leetle heavy. But I'm just finding faults for faults sake now

MarioandLuigi · 29/04/2011 14:35

I think the dress looked beautiful and really suited her, but Pippa looked odd. It was almost as if that was the dress Kate wished she could have worn. Who chose it.

Sam Cam looked lovely - but no hat Shock

Eugenie and Beatrice looked odd, a bit like pantomime dames, and I only caught a glimpse of Princess Anne but it hurt my eyes!

breathing · 29/04/2011 14:36

cyb the first thing i noticed was the huge black eyebrows

GitAwfMayLend · 29/04/2011 14:36

OOh now I loved the eyebrows.

I have got severe eyebrow envy.

breatheslowly · 29/04/2011 14:37

Grin at mosschops. Of all the things in the world to get upset about (which I know is a poor argument in itself). The point of the royals is that they don't give a toss what everyone else thinks.

MarioandLuigi · 29/04/2011 14:37

Chelsy Davy looked a bit odd too.

moregranny · 29/04/2011 14:39

Beautiful, Made a change from all of the bad news we have to put up with every day.

cocolepew · 29/04/2011 14:41

Why was Joss Stone there?

cyb · 29/04/2011 14:43

I screamed when I saw David Beckham in the congregation

Felt sad for those 2 Nuns, in their drab grey garb w,hen all the church fellas get to wear gilt this and ermine that

BalloonSlayer · 29/04/2011 14:43

I didn't see Chelsey Davy. Mind you, if I had I'd have probably thought "ooh, there's Sharon from Eastenders" as that's what I normally think whenever I see a photo of hers.

GitAwfMayLend · 29/04/2011 14:46

I too screamed and text dd 'david beckham is hot I love him'

Slightly inappropriate, possibly.

TheGashlycrumbTinies · 29/04/2011 14:48

I thought she looked beautiful, her bridesmaids had dresses very similar to those of Diana.

WhiteBumOfTheMountain · 29/04/2011 14:49

Oh I thought Chelsy looked nice! Poor Bea and Eugine though..

newpup · 29/04/2011 14:49

I loved the dress 10/10. (My own was very similar Smile).
Pippa's dress was an unusual choice but a nice modern contrast to her sister's.

Mrs Middleton looked just right as did the Duchess of Cornwall.

Thought that the bride's make up was a little harsh but she is so stunning when she smiles she gets away with it.

Prince Harry looked so uncomfortable!

I loved Victoria Beckhams outfit very elegant but thought Beatrice and Eugenie looked awful!

I did enjoy it though.

rockinhippy · 29/04/2011 14:49

don't think her dress was anything like Grace Kelly's but it was very like

Totally agree there balloonslayer the silhouette definitely is based on that, with a more modern twist in cloth etc - the more I look at it, the more I think she got it spot on with her own dress, very elegant, yet still suited to the pomp of the occasion

Cyclops99 · 29/04/2011 14:50

Loved it all except for Beatrice and Eugenie...........seriously? No mirrors in the palace? They both managed to look hideous butbin completely different ways......

Sam Cam should have worn a hat and a jacket - she kept true to her style but weddings aren't about that. It's about squeezing ourselves into clothes we'd never wear otherwise!

MarathonMama · 29/04/2011 14:50

Love the dress it's fab. Also love her sister's dress although I think bathing in St Tropez was a mistake

SueSylvesterforPM · 29/04/2011 14:57

reminded of grace kelly for some reason
